There are a several creative pairs of artists who present themselves as one entity. Each piece of their work is a symbiosis of a mutual cooperation. Only with the arrival of the avant-garde the phenomenon of artistic cooperatives starts occurring systematically.A variety of collective signatures of art associations, groups and couples alongside individual artist push the borderline of authorship. The exhibition Two Heads, Four Hands introduces works of art of a several artistic duos who worked in Czechoslovakia, even though in some cases one person of the couple was a foreigner.

The interconnecting points of the duos are based on pair symmetry, mirror reflection, optical illusion, on the ability to dialogue and on the identity game and irony.Although a functioning within a couple is primarily a natural principal, in the world of art it is more of a rarity.

Exhibitions dedicated to the art of textile revealed within a wider context, are rare in the Czech Republic. The textile medium has long been seen as a solely female domain and most often it has been linked with the work of local female artists. However, many other artists make use of textile as a medium for their creative expression. While for some artists working with cloth presents a challenge and enrichment of their work, for others it is but a routine. 8smička’s inaugurating exhibition shows some of the most considerable works of art created in the period starting at the beginning of the 20th century up until now. The exhibition introduces an overview of art from across generations aiming at impairing a stereotypical perception of textiles belonging merely to the field of applied arts. At the same time it is highlighting a recent tendency of increased interest in this medium as it also proposes its multilayered character in unconventional ways of interpretation. Moreover, it is an homage to the broadcloth made in Humpolec as much as to all the artists concerned with textiles who had been marginalised and missed out for a lengthy period of time. The exhibition is accompanied by guided tours given by curators, with Saturday craft workshops and further events.
